Hello! I’m new to the streaming game and planning to launch a Twitch channel where I’ll be writing ideas, sharing stories live, and just chatting with my audience to the tune of chill music. I’m looking for a talented designer who can help bring my vision of a "multiverse" themed overlay to life, complete with custom animations that capture the essence of branching timelines and the creative process.

Requirements:

Custom Twitch Overlays: Need overlays that can accommodate different streaming segments—one for discussions and another for live writing sessions.

Animations: Looking for simple yet captivating animations that reflect a multiverse theme, enhancing the viewer experience without being too distracting.

Custom Emotes and Graphics: Require unique emotes for audience interaction and additional graphics that might be needed for the stream.

Script Display Feature: A section in the overlay where viewers can see the script being written live. I'm not sure how this would be done but we can discuss it.

Budget Conscious: As I’m new to this, I’d appreciate working with someone who can offer flexible pricing without compromising on creativity around $80-150

Additional Notes: I’ve noticed platforms like Streamlabs offering templates, but I’m keen on something more personalized and fitting to the multiverse concept. I’m also considering purchasing a 4K webcam to enhance stream quality, so compatibility with high-quality video is important.

I don’t have a massive budget, but I'm open to suggestions and willing to discuss how we can make this work both creatively and financially.

I've also added my character to this post, looking to maybe have me pop up in some of the streams here and there maybe animated.

Hey! I have a 2D-ish background image that’s designed to look like pixel art. It's a nostalgic sci-fi scene with a cozy spaceship vibe. The image isn’t built from tiles or sprites, just a detailed static artwork that mimics a retro pixel style.

So far, I’ve managed to animate a few simple looping effects on top like steam etc, but I’d love to take it further by animating parts of the actual image. Things like charachter breathing, blinking monitors, twinkling stars, or subtle ambient movement.

I’m looking for someone who understands pixel-style animation and knows how to preserve that crisp aesthetic. I’m open to any tools you like working with, whether that’s Aseprite, Photoshop, After Effects, or something else, as long as the final result loops cleanly.

If you're interested, feel free to message me and I’ll send over the image so you can take a look. Would love to see any examples you’ve done in a similar style too.

## Concept
Create an animation showing how traits are passed between generations using a "whirlpool in river" metaphor. Water flows from mountains through braided rivers where whirlpools (people) form. A new whirlpool emerges from two parent whirlpools, inheriting their patterns. Show how environment affects patterns, and how self-awareness allows transformation. End with playground scene showing a child between parents, each with visible internal whirlpools.

## Key Scenes
1. Mountain source → water forming patterns
2. Rivers joining → diverse whirlpools forming
3. Two parent whirlpools create baby whirlpool
4. Patterns transfer to baby whirlpool
5. Environment shapes whirlpool patterns
6. Self-awareness leads to pattern transformation
7. Final playground scene with family

## Technical Details
- MP4 video (1080p)
- Style: Fluid animation (watercolor/motion graphics)
- Must show: Water dynamics, visible patterns within whirlpools

## Deliverables
- Final video + source files
- Storyboard + promotional stills

## Skills Required
- Fluid animation experience
- Abstract concept visualization
- Strong storytelling

## Proposal Needs
- Portfolio examples
- Visual approach ideas
- Timeline/budget estimate

I have a detailed storyboard, script, and references to share once we connect. This educational video will help people understand how they're shaped by their past while empowering them to change.
